Comments on: Should “So Help Me God” be Banned? http://womantribune.com/god-banned A community for women Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:01:25 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Atheist http://womantribune.com/god-banned/comment-page-1#comment-14018 Atheist Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:59:46 +0000 http://womantribune.com/?p=1383#comment-14018 Right he should leave it out... There is no god, atheism is often misunderstood not only by religious people but also by those who claim to be agnostic. Atheism does not deny the possibility of a god, but the burden of proof is on those that claim there is a god. Atheism is the default logic position.

I would hope that you wouldn't let that stop you from giving believe in God a chance. Don't know your religious background, but I would encourage you to give God a chance. I will pray that a nice, sincere Christian would come into your life and share God's love with you. Hi Holly, sorry you have been ridiculed for not believing in a higher power.

There have been a lot of bad things done in the name of religion, but it has a huge historical part in teaching good morals and ethics. As there is less and less interest/belief in religion (as well as people outright fighting against it), there seem to be more and more youth who are growing up without any morals and sense of purpose. Of course, this is just from seeing kids in my town, but it still is of merit. Besides, when historical quotes of a non-religious nature are continued, no one seems to mind. Yet, because something has a religious background, people attack it. The fact is that it is a part of history whether it is religious or not. If people simply wanted to eradicate all historical references, I'd understand, but I don't understand why there is so much emphasis placed on getting rid of religious references.
